The essence of human beings is the sum total of all social relations

Whether machines will take people's jobs, I used to think that was a rather ridiculous and childish question for a while. Humans have developed from the Stone Age to the Information Age, and the machines they invented have been upgraded from stone axes to artificial intelligence. The population of the world has grown exponentially. As long as you know a little about human history, you will not be troubled by this problem. Theoretically speaking, the research and use of new machines will continue to bring new jobs, and the greater economic scale created by the higher productivity brought about by new machines will create more jobs. Human needs are endless. This need is met by machines, and there will always be more needs that cannot be met by machines.

Before this, I have never questioned this set of answers. Even if the object referred to by "machine" becomes artificial intelligence, it will not be shaken at all. Even if artificial intelligence can surpass human beings in thinking, as long as he is still human Controlled, then he will always be a tool of people, because it does not have free will, he must obey people.

But when I saw the show, I found that my patched theory was hard to apply. Because the ordinary synths in the film have no free will, not even consciousness. But even in this situation, where there are still synthetics taking the place of lovers, mothers, friends, I try to interpret Sophie's feelings for Anita, the detective's wife to Simon, and Dr. Milliken's feelings for Otty as human beings. The affection of the toy, but also failed. Because we can ditch toys for people, but they obviously can't ditch synths for real people.

What the hell is wrong, they are 100% at the mercy of people (here, Anita not Mia), work for humans, and humans can use the costs that synthetic humans save for humans to expand investment and provide more jobs... …No, the professions of mother, friend, and lover are fundamentally different from those of porter, bearer, and painter. They are actually characters, a recognition of identity among humans. According to Marx, the essence of human beings is the sum of all social relations. When you are separated from human social relations and cannot be recognized by human society for your social role, then what is a human being? Machines only help people to work, so they will not replace people. This sentence itself is wrong. Not all labor can be done by machines without causing changes in identity relationships. Humans naturally need skin-to-skin relationship to establish recognition and intimacy. If the labor of skin-to-skin relationship is performed by humanoid machines, then human beings are not far from being replaced.
